Fast internet [100Mbps+], but "work" computer shows 2 Mbps on speedof.me

[carrolll]

I'm having "speed" [from speedof.me] issue with my work computer at home, hardwired. I have a RTN-66U router (with QOS set recently in an effort to fix this issue). I have run malwarebytes, checked network adapter driver - no update needed, and system mechanic to try to fix this - no improvement. Work computer = Intel i7-4770 @3.5GHz, Windows 10, 32GIG RAM, static IP. I plugged into directly my router - same speeds - no improvement. Replaced cable between router and switch - no improvement. Replaced cable between switch and work computer - no improvement.

I am running a JGS524E gigabit switch between my router and work computer. I have set those ports to 1000MB. I plugged a 3 year old laptop into an open port on my switch [where my work computer is connected] and got 90Mbps on speedof.me on that laptop.

I have run speedtest.net and got 92 down and 6 up on my culprit work computer. But I get "more than occasional" choppy connectivity in google hangouts and feel the speed test in speedof.me is an "indication" that there is a " browser based connectivity" problem?

My wife's gaming computer gets 122 Mbps on my same network on speedof.me. I've got about 10 hours into trying this-n-that to increase my performance on speedof.me.

Thanks for any help. Thoughts?

Which browser? What happens if you use a different browser? If it is just one browser, have you reinstalled it?

You suspect the browser is the issue ... have you looked at extensions/add-ons that are loading and perhaps slowing things down? Have you looked into known issues with the browser your using (ie, Chrome can sometimes choke if hardware acceleration is turned on ... sometime it works fine).

Do some testing and let us know.
